Are you fighting to lose weight, read this

[rob33]

After 30 years in the Navy, and they wouldn't let me stay any longer, I left. When I did I was a rock solid 160lbs, but I slowly gained 60lbs over the years. After battling this I with my conventional doctor to no avail. Two weeks ago I went to a wellness doctor (an ex weight doctor for the US Olympic wrestling and boxing teams). In doing so I learned that VG and PG is two things that will prevent you from losing weight, yes your body uses it as fat and burns it before burning fat cells you already have. There is an whole list of other things we use daily that does this also. Well I've not been vaping and have lost 10pds so far of the guaranteed 20 to 30lbs per month. There are no shots, pills, surgery, exercise, hunger involved. A healthy food diet and natural supplements, with no fat (good or bad)or carbs. So if you are struggling with this life threatening challenge, Id recommend seeing wellness doctor.

I'm sure someone will ask about giving up vaping. After almost 10yrs one day I was, the next I wasn't, withdrawal lasted about 3 days.

Before I stopped smoking and started vaping I was a bit of a chunky monkey myself, well, to be perfectly honest, I was fat, I would diet and exercise and lose weight but put it back on when I got lazy, since vaping I have also lost weight due to my diet and exercise, but this time I have the wellness factor where I feel better and fitter due to stopping smoking to exercise and diet with more “gusto”. But in the long run, it boils down to what’s best for the individual. Good luck with your continued weight loss.

“Wellness” is a word used when there is no medical evidence that something works, because if they called it medicine they’d go to prison. It’s a word without definition. It literally means nothing.

Ok

Am I missing something? Read it twice and I don't see the purpose Before I break the rules I'll just say "good for you"

The AMA calls it junk science," there's not alot of money in healing anyone", according to the AMA business plan.

I guess I just drug it out, but PG and VG along with a host of others can prevent your body from releasing your built up fat while burning for the other things (it just an easier source of fat) basically anything that contains oils or sugars.

Consuming PG and VG maybe, inhaling it is a different story. Most of the PG and VG you inhale is exhaled as the visible vapor, the rest is expelled as waste. They can cause some mild allergic reactions during this process but they are not burned as fat from the lungs. You may as well be saying that if I atomized a steak and inhaled it I would be getting the protein out of it.

How many calories are ingested with 3-5ml of VG per day?
I'll look at my handy app, 1ml is about 1gm. 4 calories x 5ml = 20 calories. Except I'm not keeping all that 5ml in my body. 5-10 calories would probably be more than actually held in the body vaping it.
I could walk down the hall to fill my tank and burn that much. If I walk back down the hall to charge my batteries I'm losing weight.

It would seem to me your healthy diet had a lot more to do with it. Your "doctor" got you to believe and stick with it.
Weight loss is pretty simple science, calories in vs calories burned. The mentality of having to eat but not eat is not so simple.

My problem is I have 50 years of trying to gain weight. Just like blowing out the VG has me not keeping those 20 calories to burn I didn't keep many of the calories I eat.
Now that I'm treated I could lose a few. I tried counting calories, 1 cracker is how many calories??? I added up something to get me to a standard calorie intake and just cut that item out.
Weight gain stopped. If I want to lose weight activity takes care of it.

The AMA calls it junk science," there's not alot of money in healing anyone", according to the AMA business plan.

Good conspiracy theory but those "doctors" who aren't MDs or DOs only help those without real problems. When they sucker someone with a real problem and get them to throw out their real treatments people die. I often see those naturalist hucksters targeting people with my disease offering cures for an incurable disease.
There is a lot of money in healing people, the $36,000 price tag of my infusion this week proves as much. Imagine how much they will charge when they have a cure. And they do charge plenty to cure people of cancer.

Now imagine how much a huckster can charge for a fake "natural" cure and how many suckers would happily hand over their money. Yes there's a lot of money for Dr's to treat or heal, there is also a lot of money for scammers to offer fake cures.

The reason we don't have more cures is because it generally doesn't work that way with present science. We cure things by preventing them from happening, like vaccines. Cue the hucksters to con people away from vaccines to cause diseases to offer their fake cures for.
It's going to take some Star Trek science before we can actually cure existing problems.

How about nicotine? Would that affect weight?

Assuming you are otherwise healthy, eating less and moving your body leads to fat/weight loss. It's really that simple.

I've lost 15 lbs over the past 6 months (without wanting to or even trying). Got off the couch after a short retirement and went back to work part time. Vaped through the entire period and still do.

It’s that simple for men, maybe, but not so for women of a certain age.

My husband gave up ice cream and swapped beef for fish. Lost twenty pounds just like that. I bought a bicycle, rode five miles a day, did a low carb 900 calories, etc etc, Lost 2 lbs in a month.

For me, I had to take supplements to support metabolic function, go mostly meatless, avoid processed food and sodium, and eat smart carbs. It’s not about calories after menopause. I was gaining at 1100 calories, and I’m slowly losing at 1400. Sodium equals water retention and empty carbs lead to more hunger and less portion control.

And just to be clear, I was thin all my life. I was a size 4 at 40.

Soooo....we have one thread where the op's daughter vapes to lose weight and now you quit vaping to lose weight.

I guess if I cut my vaping in half, I'll lose twice as much weight as both of you.

I think you said your diet consists of "no fats (good or bad), no carbs and natural supplements"? Um, I'm no wellness doctor, but that seems like enough to lose weight. It also seems like torture. But hey, I'm happy for you.

I just eats lots of vegetables, Ive never been over weight. I dont eat fast foods often, they often make me feel ill when I do eat it.
I do mild exercise.
I vape, no weight gained because of it.
My wife doesnt vape, she loves ice cream and chocolate, she carries extra weight if she stops exercising and watching her ice cream and chocolate intake.

If you quit vaping, you'd disappear .

Theres an incentive to keep vaping. Im vaping for my very existence

 

[Asbestos4004]

I've always associated 'wellness doctors' (oxymoron) with weathermen. They can be wrong (and they often are) without losing their jobs. Inhaled VG or PG being stored and burned as fat? Really? If that were the case, I'd be 75% concrete and pollen.
